I am not doing it again; this is the first question I have asked. I just want to ask the minister about the powers of ACMA in relation to prevention of breaches of the media diversity rules. It needs to be emphasised and it needs to be always on the public record. People listening to this debate need to understand that there are severe penalties in place if things do not go correctly, and also that the authorities that this government has in place have the ability to undertake measures that will prevent breaches of any of the acts. I put that question to the minister concerning the media diversity rules and the powers that ACMA has to prevent these breaches.
